Doctor, does an endoscopic forehead lift pull like this? No. An endoscopic forehead lift lifts like this! Doctor, does a sub-brow lift pull like this? Doctor, does a sub-brow lift pull like this? Like this!

Hello. I am Dr. Kang Hyung-joo from JAYJUN Plastic Surgery. How much can an endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift actually lift? How much can an endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift actually lift? That is what I would like to discuss today. As for the area treated in an endoscopic forehead lift,

you might think it involves only the forehead. But it includes the entire forehead, part of the crown, the eyebrows, and the temples. Think of it as a procedure covering quite a broad area. Looking here, people often expect this much lift. They expect it to lift about this much. That is a common expectation.

But in fact, it lifts about this much. So, an endoscopic forehead lift is often performed when the eyes and eyebrows are close together, making the eyes look weighed down or less open.

It used to be known as a procedure mainly for middle-aged patients. But these days, younger people with a drooping forehead and a short distance between the eyes and brows also frequently have it. It can make the eye area look more open and smooth forehead wrinkles. It is also performed to create a more open facial appearance. Why does it only lift this much?

During an endoscopic forehead lift, we usually weaken some of the muscles that pull the forehead and eyebrows downward. We weaken part of those muscles. But we cannot completely eliminate their force, so some downward pull remains.

That means even if we lift as much as possible, some of that lift relaxes over time. Compared with the maximum lift achieved, the final result settles slightly lower. The final result settles slightly lower. Because of this,

some people wonder why the effect is not as dramatic and misunderstand the result. Next, let us talk about a sub-brow lift. How much lift does a sub-brow lift provide? You might imagine it working like this. But in fact,

it lifts about this much. If you focus only on the area below the eyebrows, you may feel that the overall change is quite different from what you expected. A sub-brow lift is often performed when there is significant sagging of the upper eyelid skin.

It is particularly effective for drooping at the outer corners of the eyes. Many people who undergo a sub-brow lift already have significant sagging and use their forehead muscles to lift the area. When surgery relieves some of that sagging, it feels more comfortable, so the forehead relaxes,

and the eyebrows descend. So, compared with the effect you expected, the eyebrows may lower and cover part of the eyelids again. This can make the result feel less noticeable than you initially expected. So it is important to have realistic, conservative expectations. Doctor, which suits me better: an endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift?

Doctor, which suits me better: an endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift? Well, in your case... there is not much sagging. Next, let us discuss how to decide whether your face needs an endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift.

As you saw earlier, if lifting the entire forehead upward improves your appearance and opens up the eye area, a forehead lift may be suitable. If lifting it makes you look blank or less attractive, you should consider another approach. If there is significant drooping at the outer corners of your eyes,

and your eyelid skin is somewhat thick, a sub-brow lift may be a better choice. These are two completely different procedures. They offer different effects. With a sub-brow lift, we remove skin just below the eyebrows

and lift and secure the muscle upward. Its main purpose is to improve the upper eyelid area. A forehead lift covers a broader area. When the face starts to sag, the scalp, forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids all descend. A forehead lift can raise those areas.

So, to increase the space between the eyes and eyebrows, I consider a forehead lift the only surgical option. Do some people have both procedures at the same time? Yes. For people whose eyes and eyebrows are already very close together, a sub-brow lift can bring them even closer.

So we need to be careful. But if the eyes and eyebrows are already close together, and there is severe drooping at the outer eye corners, we still need to address the excess skin in this area. In that situation, performing only a sub-brow lift may cause the eyebrows to descend a little further,

making the eye area look even less open. So, although the eye shape and sagging improve, if the narrow spacing still makes the area look closed in, combining it with a forehead lift can make the area look more open and spacious. In some cases, this produces a much better appearance.

Generally, do patients have just one of the two procedures? I usually recommend the most necessary procedure first. If having that one procedure could leave another concern unaddressed, I may recommend treating that as well. But I generally explain which should take priority.

If you have the first procedure and are satisfied, you can stop there. If something still bothers you, an additional procedure may improve that concern. That is how I explain it. Doctor, we need to plan time off after surgery, so could you tell us how long we need to rest? Neither procedure involves a particularly long recovery.

Let us compare three options: double-eyelid surgery with ptosis correction, a sub-brow lift, and a forehead lift. If we compare those three, among them, double-eyelid surgery with ptosis correction has the longest recovery. For a sub-brow lift, the stitches are removed after one week.

It is not a procedure that usually causes severe bruising or swelling. So, once the stitches are removed, you should be able to resume daily life without much discomfort. For a forehead lift, the stitches are removed at the two-week mark.

But there are no incisions on the face. All the incisions are within the scalp. And because the swelling is not severe, with a forehead lift, compared with a sub-brow lift or double-eyelid surgery with ptosis correction, the recovery may actually feel a little shorter.

But to go about our daily lives, we need to wash our hair, too. We cannot walk around with greasy hair forever. When can we start washing our hair? From around day three, I tell patients they can rinse their hair with water, without shampoo.

After about a week, they can use shampoo, as long as they are careful around the surgical sites. At our clinic, three days after surgery, we wash the patient's hair once. At that visit, we explain how to do it. Then they can wash their hair at home

and keep it clean with less worry. Oh, sometimes we go a little longer between washes, and wash our hair after about three days anyway. So we can think of it as roughly that kind of interval. Yes. So, compared with what you might expect, I do not think it feels that restrictive or uncomfortable.

Today, we discussed endoscopic forehead lifts and sub-brow lifts. We covered the indications for each procedure, when each one is more effective, how much of the problem each procedure can address, and some common misunderstandings. An endoscopic forehead lift or a sub-brow lift:

neither is inherently better than the other. What matters is finding the procedure that suits you. I hope today's video helps you choose between an endoscopic forehead lift and a sub-brow lift. That is all for today. See you next time. Please come back!
